Smoking Bans Reduce Heart Attacks

New information on second hand smoke just came out and I wanted you
to know about it from a few years back.

A report was recently released that showed bans on smoking in
public places really do work at reducing heart attacks from second
hand smoke. The major study by the U.S. Institute of Medicine
showed that smoke free policies can reduce the risk of heart attack
by up to 47% and significantly reduce the likelihood of other heart
problems.

The findings in the report show that implementing smoking bans in
public areas like restaurants and bars significantly reduces the
risk of acute coronary events.
The doctors who did the study said they did conclude a “cause and
effect” relationship between heart disease, heart attacks, acute
coronary events, and secondhand smoke exposure.

This new study further proves that smoke-free laws result in fewer
heart attacks. Because of this new information, more states might
pass smoke free legislation for public areas.

Danny McGoldrick, the Vice President for research at Campaign for
Tobacco-Free Kids, said “If policy makers are paying attention to
the science, and this is one more piece of evidence that says you
can actually save people’s lives and save health care costs, then
those states that have yet to act should do so. How many dramatic
findings do you need before you are finally going to act and
protect everybody’s right to breathe clean air?”

I don’t know about you, but I like the smoke free environment in
restaurants and bars. Not being exposed to the second hand smoke
makes my evening much more enjoyable!
